Understanding the unique security needs of your organization
is an art form that’s part theoretical part practical. Despite thisduality, it has its roots firmly planted in logic by leveraging key

includes everything from devices to software andyour organization’s infrastructure, data, processes andpolicies. These pieces come together to complete thepicture of an organization’s security posture.
Armed with this information, organizations can assess
the risks and liabilities of their current cybersecurity
strategy and take the necessary steps to correct them,minimizing risk and mitigating threats.
Risk assessment is not is a “one-and-done” process.
In accordance with best practices, risk assessments
should be done on a regular cadence. Because of the
dynamic nature of technology, everything’s always in atransient state. This is even more important for security
because bugs are a naturally recurring issue thatlead to vulnerabilities that lower the security postureand ultimately place devices, users and data at riskof compromise.

What impact would a cyber attack have on my organization?
Understanding the likelihood of a threat helps with prioritization in your defense
strategy. But another part of this is understanding the impact a threat has on yourorganization’s mission, which can be financial, with the average total cost of a data
breach at 4.35 million USD in 2022, according to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach
Report. It can be time lost, with an average of 277 days to identify and containa breach. Or it can hurt your relationship with customers, whether via reputation
or by increasing customer prices due to data breaches as 60% of affectedorganizations did in 2022. Not to mention any fines from governing organizations if
your company is not compliant with applicable standards.

What’s next?
Naturally, the larger the impact of an attack, the higher the priority to defend
relevant systems. This is also true for attacks with higher likelihood. The
combination of these two metrics — impact and likelihood — helps quantify how
risky certain threats are to your organization. A solid understanding of the risk
gives you the knowledge needed to prioritize and determine the following:• What critical systems need the most protection (i.e., will cause the greatest loss
toward mission-critical functions)• What controls to implement for the best defense strategy• What software tools can enhance your security posture• How much risk you can tolerate (i.e., your risk appetite)
Once you have the information from your risk assessment, it’s time to implement
what you’ve learned. In the next sections, we’ll address evaluating your networkand device telemetry and what guidelines you can use when developing orrevising your security policies.

Visibility and monitoring
So, you’ve assessed risks, identified them and adjusted your risk appetite to alignwith your tolerance level. Additionally, you’ve made the necessary changes toprocure and configure security controls to mitigate risk. Your security posture isstrong and stakeholders have received the requisite training to identify current
threats while understanding that they need to be reported and acted upon.
Endpoints are secured from threats and compliance goals have been achieved,with all devices falling within scope. Now what?

Are IT and security teams simply done with their workand can take an early (and likely much-needed) holiday?
Sadly, no.
Once again, the dynamic nature of technology is everpresent, and in this case, it means that just because
something is secured right now, today, doesn’t mean
it will forever remain secure. The key to keeping yourdevices, infrastructure and your organization safe frompervasive security threats lies in the understanding
endpoint health statuses at any given time.

What kind of data does monitoring collect?
Before diving into the types of telemetry data gathered
through monitoring, let’s first discuss the two typesof monitoring:• Passive: Health data is gathered slowly, usually overa period of time to minimize any impact on the end
user or the performance levels of the monitored
device. The infrequent nature of the data capturemeans it can take more time to collect telemetry data
and, therefore, delay the creation of a fully-formed“We are not fit to lead an army on the march unlessdevice baseline. Also, any delays in data gathering

Of additional importance, visibility gleaned throughmonitoring informs decision-making at all device

and mitigating vulnerabilities that could otherwise

• Configuration settings: Hardening devices is criticalto the security posture. Not just because you want toconfigure them for maximum security correctly but
also to minimize the possibility of misconfigurations,which contribute to 21% of error-related data
breaches (Verizon Data Breach Investigation
Report 2023).
• Network activity: With what web-based content are
devices communicating? Are untrusted connections
being secured? Which ports are transferring data?
Answers to these and other important questions
surrounding network utilization are critical todetermining the security posture of your devices.
• Behavioral analysis: Users are considered theweakest link in the security chain for good reason.
Varying levels of understanding contribute to thecontinued success of social engineering attacks. By
understanding how users perform on their devices,administrators get a clearer picture of how userintroduced risks occur and, therefore, how to better
protect against them.

website to seemingly dormant threats runningin the background – any of these can potentiallycompromise compliance, especially considering
growing adoption and attack trends related to mobile
devices.
• Error logging: Devices log everything, and the more
devices administrators are responsible for, the harder
it is to address every issue logged. This is great for
threat actors and bad for admins. Still, it doesn’t
have to be. When managed properly and leveraging
Security Information and Event Management(SIEM) solutions to sort and make sense of thepotentially overwhelming telemetry stream, error
logging and threat detection is not only effective but
also efficient.
• System processes: Endpoint security administrators
must know what apps run on their devices. This
speaks to the average baseline of the device itself
and alerts admins to the usage of unsanctioned(Shadow IT) or disallowed (Restricted) tools that mayotherwise lower security by allowing for data leaks tooccur or increase risks to user privacy.
• Audit compliance: Endpoint health visibility is as
much about what is known as it is about what is not.
With regulated industries, an organization’s ability
to know where they stand on their compliance pathmeans understanding what’s necessary to achievecompliance goals while collecting evidence of
this achievement.

But can telemetry data be used to mitigate risk automatically?
Why yes, yes, it can. As a matter of fact, in light of several factors that makemanaging risk significantly more difficult, like:• Ordering large quantities of devices, different device types• Maintaining security across a fleet of personally and company-owned devices• Supporting distributed workforces in remote and hybrid environments• Convergence of two or more threat types to execute complex, multi-pronged
attacks against targets• Enforcing security settings to maintain endpoint compliance
Automating the collection, analysis and sorting of telemetry data is preferred togoing through each stage manually. Given the sheer volume of data to comb
through, the quantity of time in completing each as quickly as possible and, ofcourse, the limitations that humans can only do so much before requiring breaks
for food and rest.
None of these significant limitations apply to computers.
Leveraging systems to perform the “heavy lifting” through automation saves
organizations precious time and money — resources better served to prevent
attacks from occurring successfully than scrambling to clean up in the aftermath.
Active monitoring is the second layer (after risk assessment) in your security plan
to understand your organization’s security needs. Telemetry data is gatheredand delivered in real time by continuously monitoring your fleet, which provides
up-to-date endpoint health data that is analyzed and processed by your endpoint
security solution to determine how each device stacks up. Any deficiencies thatare detected or anomalous behaviors that are flagged can be automated tosend alerts to IT or security teams (at the very least) to determine next steps. The
detections can also be used to initiate automated workflows for handling incident
response, like automatically removing known suspicious software from devices orquarantining endpoints infected with ransomware, for example.
Other, more advanced workflows are possible by further integrating
endpoint security solutions with other tooling, such as identity and mobile
device management (MDM), to create robust workflows that offer greater
automation capabilities.
